Run 350

Took part in the Run 350 race which is a run for the environment. I signed up for the half marathon but did not really have time to train for it. It was actually a run which I went in with very very little training and mileage.

The run took place at the Floating Platform it started at 6am. I was there early but I forgot my wallet and in the process could not top up my cash card and so I had to find a free parking place which was a little bit further than what I would have got if I had parked in the car park near the venue. Anyway the walk to the start line was refreshing. I went with the second wave of runners.

The first 8km was really uncomfortable I think I needed that long to warm up and the next 8km was actually easier I felt. The last 5km was ok I think I did pretty well under 3hrs not the best time ever but I was happy. The one thing I took back from the race was that the sequence to the 3R’s is Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in that order. So that was it the first half marathon for the year.
